S is quick and pretty good at the subject that I teach. She often raises issues that make me ponder. In the first semester, she asked about the difference between "most people" and "most of the people" as her secondary school teacher did not allow them to use "most of the people", and that started my exploration about these two expressions, as it seems to me that they refer to different contexts and there's nothing wrong with "most of the people".
Yesterday she asked about the use of articles "the" in front of place names. Is there any rule at all?
